A Little Cocktail Cruise

Night Heron

Saturday was such a beautiful day.  We thought we had plans but they all fell through. So……

Might as well go out for a little cocktail cruise to Mason Creek and share some photos with you!

We always rouse up a few dogs that need to guard their waterfront. And here’s Ethel in action!

This one doesn’t seem too interested in us.  Might stop by and say hi to this guy in the future.

Our route takes us by La Casa of Mason Creek, looks like a wedding is planned for this evening!

A bald eagle! Thought they would have headed north by now!

So we headed back, and, yes, there is a wedding!

OH no, wedding gawkers. Or perhaps the paparazzi!

A nice wrap up of our day!

Making Pom Poms
The Future Of Pinterest

Took them home yesterday and then spent some serious time napping.

Sheeesch.

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I was shutting down the DIY website.  

Maybe a bit pre-mature.  Perhaps a result of exhaustion from doing toooooo many meetings, toooooo many projects, tooooooo much politics.

I’ve been missing my sewing machine.  And then my sweet Addison–the 9-year-old granddaughter–said she LOVES my DIY blog.  Oh geeeeeze.  I told her that I was shutting it down.  Noooooooo!  

So now I’m having second thoughts.

I actually think that she likes checking it out so she can make sure that I’m not making more for Piper than for her! “What!  Piper has a mermaid tail blanket????”

And I told Addison that if she took photos of any DIY project she was working on, I would post it. 

I’m so indecisive. If you have been following the other website, I’ll have a QAYG post up next Tuesday.

So what’s going on this weekend?  Hey, it’s Easter.  Christ is rising.  Isn’t that enough?

Have a great weekend!

Local Trail -- Chassahowitzka Salt Marsh Trails

Not many people know about the Chassahowitzka Salt Marsh Trails that are just a short drive out of Old Homosassa on Mason Creek Road.

We usually ride our bikes.  The trail is a little sandy but not too difficult to ride.

There is no water available and the website says no restrooms, but I did spot a porta-potti when we went there a few weeks ago.

It’s a beautiful place to view the refuge.
